I ask this because Oscar, 5, misses his food a lot. I know they miss but he is missing his salad and worms too. The crickets can be fast so I understand that but even with the crickets he misses when they are not even moving, they move after his failed attempts. He also digs in his dishes prior to eating. Is the digging in the dish just what he does or is this so he can find his food. I first noticed he digs when his worms are gone but I thought this was just instinct of trying to dig more worms out of the dirt but after watching him closer I saw he does it with all food. If there is nothing wrong then it is funny to watch, before he goes for a cricket he will scratch the ground with his front feet like a bull ready to charge, then off he goes.
The mouth questions. When he eats he slobbers and sometime it drips. It kind of reminds me of my dog begging for food. Also sometime food does not stick to his tongue, it gets about half way to his mouth and falls off his tongue. It does not happen all the time I would say 1 out of 4 bits of food. Does the tongue lose its sticky over time? He still eats all his food, just takes a couple more attempts. Any ideas or am I once again just worrying too much.
